Verizon Wireless Giveaway - Win a Free Droid RAZR HD + Gift Card

As you all know, I'm a big fan of Verizon Wireless. They sponsor Will Power, my favorite racecar driver, I love their service, and earlier this year they offered me an opportunity to be a part of a group of bloggers who get to try out some of their devices for free in exchange for bringing our readers our honest opinions about them.

I've been playing with the Droid RAZR M for the past couple of months--I'll have a post coming before too long about that--and now they've given me a prize pack to give away to a lucky reader of this site: The winner will receive a new Droid RAZR HD as well as a $50 Verizon gift card.

The RAZR HD launched as the most compact 4.7" smartphone on the market and contains such features as:

Circles Widget makes it easy to view battery life, text notifications, missed calls or weather updates, right on the home screen.

Near-field communications-enabled, so customers can use Android Beam to share contacts, documents and maps directly to compatible phones.

A battery that allows for up to 32 hours of normal use and double the internal storage (of older RAZR phones) to 32 GB.

Runs over 4G LTE, combined with Chrome for Android, meaning customers can enjoy blazing fast speeds that make downloading documents or surfing the Web a breeze.

Device is Global Ready, so calling home or sending emails is possible from more than 205 countries around the world.

It's also built with Gorilla Glass and KEVLAR fiber, so it's a durable little bugger!

In order to enter the sweepstakes, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post before December 14th (I'll cut off entries at 8 am CST on 12/14) that answers the question: "What Droid RAZR feature are you the most excited about?"

To enter, you must be a resident of the United States. Also, given that I allow anonymous comments on this blog, you must either log-in to leave your comment in a way that includes your email address or otherwise leave me some way to get in touch if you win. Also, please only enter one giveaway and only leave one comment. Duplicate entries will be disqualified.

Each comment will be numbered (comment 1 = #1) and at the end I will use a random number generator to pick the winner. I won't re-number the comments in the case of ineligible entries or comments that aren't actually entries into the contest, I'll just draw again should their comment number be pulled. And my decision is final.

I've really enjoyed using the RAZR that Verizon Wireless gave me earlier this year. It's fast to load everything, the service is awesome (even in the semi-rural area that I live in), the camera is solid, it's got a lot of memory, and the screen is really nice. It just got upgraded to Jellybean and that's an awesome operating system.

The phone that I'm giving away a step up from the RAZR I've been using, so I'm sure whoever wins it will really enjoy it!

Sorry for duplicate. I thought i signed in for the "Unknown" comment above. Appears I am having issues so email is at end now. Thanks again. I am most excited bout 8 megapixel camera and HD display.Tomt4huber@gmail.com

Given that I did mobile development last summer with the technology, I might be a bit bias, but I like seeing NFC start to become common. It has some nice future potential and the more it is out there, the faster that will be realized.

It has to be the battery life. I use my phone to create gps trac files of bike rides and hikes that I take and having the GPS and mobile data on together takes a huge tool on the battery. Better battery life = better smartphone.

I like the fact that the new Droid RAZR HD because it has a battery that allows for up to 32 hours of normal use! My older generation Verzion cell phone battery could not hold a charge very long (could be because the battery was worn out?!). 32 hours of normal use sounds like a dream!

I LOVE ALL the features...Using the camera with my son playing hockey at Adrian..not having to charge the battery so much..WOW!All GREAT PLUS features...Verizon..Awesome company to deal with, What more could we ask for! Happy Holidays To All !!!Theresa :) A Goalie MOM :)schornack1@comcast.net

"Though Michigan’s student section is endlessly harangued for its vulgar language, the Yost rowdies can be counted on for at least one good laugh every season. The most recent gem, directed at Northern Michigan goalie and Finnish native Tuomas Tarkki, was a hand-lettered sign wielded by a fan sitting in the front row near the Wildcat bench. The message? The Finnish phrase ‘Tarkki on seula’, which, roughly translated, reads ‘Tarkki is a sieve’."
